Broken clocks and all.

Agreed (if it wasn’t clear from my first post).

I believe you’re confusing bandwidth with latency.

C3 Corvette, hands-down. Fell in love with the look, never cared how cheesy and over-the-top they looked or how by the ‘90s, they were being driven exclusively by divorced dads or guys who bought them new and never put a dollar of maintenance into them. So much exposed and tattered fiberglass and mismatched paint.

DeSoto, Eagle, and Imperial.

I go back to the story about undertaking in Germany. They pull you both over - the person who’s in the left lane inappropriately and the person who passed them on the right.

Thanks for keeping things civil, friend. I think you look like a model, too.

Just match speed and don't merge until the end. Boom, done.

Should be, “the right lane is for driving, all the left lanes are for passing.” Drives me nuts to see only Lane 2 of a four-lane road occupied.

Amended to: all the left lanes are for passing.

What’s the issue? If you’re in the right lane and somebody going faster than you passes on the left, then everything is just fine. And you want them to go past at a higher rate of speed so they aren’t creating a rolling roadblock next to you. (see: speed limited trucks passing speed limited trucks)

99%? There are way more crashes due to potholes, mechanical failures, and health issues than 1 in 100.

“Pass with purpose.”

Related to that one, just don’t stay precisely next to another car, blind spot or not. Either pass or get behind rather than contributing to a two-lane rolling roadblock.

Would add, “stop camping in the left lanes.” They’re all passing lanes except the one on the right.

There’s a big difference between a good zipper merge and people dive-bombing down to cut in front of other people. Good zipper merges should involve both lanes at the same speed.

Agreed. Equally, if you’re merging, adjust your acceleration so that you fit into the gap on the freeway because it’s not that driver’s job to let you in.

Keep right, pass left. Should have been on this list.

There are a lot of unbreakable rules. “Keep right except to pass” should be on the list. “Actually go when the light turns green (after looking).” “Don’t block the box.” “Zipper merge, but don’t be an asshole.”

Suggestion #1: there appear to be four drag strips in Delaware - and one in Maryland that’s much closer to Wilmington.
